Sitting on the edge of Lake Taupo, the country’s biggest lake, it’s a perfect place for both relaxation and adventure. The lake itself is a major highlight. Whether you're into tranquil boat rides, kayaking, or thrilling water sports, there's something for everyone. It’s also a prime fishing spot, famous for its rainbow and brown trout. Plus, the lakefront is great for walking or biking, letting you soak up those gorgeous views. Taupo is also surrounded by some incredible natural wonders.

It's the gateway to Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site with amazing hiking opportunities. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a must-do—an epic trek through volcanic landscapes, alpine meadows, and stunning lakes. In winter, the nearby Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields turn into a snowy paradise for skiing and snowboarding. Taupo also has a vibrant cultural scene. You can explore local art galleries, craft markets, and museums that highlight the region's Maori heritage and history. The town is lively with events like the Taupo Summer Concert and Ironman New Zealand, bringing lots of energy and fun. When it comes to food and shopping, Taupo doesn’t disappoint. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars serving everything from casual bites to gourmet meals, with lots of fresh local produce and seafood.

This is an older style property, so comes with her quirks. However as you will tell by the property reviews, guests love their stay, the character of the home and eclectic furnishings. This is not a party house - please don't book if you anticipate on having gatherings. The house is available to those who book only, unless agreed by prior arrangement with management. Please respect our noise curfew of 10PM to 7AM - we have close neighbours and your respect is appreciated. ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100480000/100475500/100475417/cc2246b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeview Terrace -
